At BU we have to take a few French culture electives on Fridays and what is moreFrench than wine! I visited the Museum of Wine with a bunch of the other students. We all sat down at a long table in a wine cellar while one of the staff taught us about wine. She started with the basics, the grapes and worked her way through the wine making process and all of the flavors of wine. We did a formal tasting of 3 reds and 3 whites, with and without cheese and bread.
We had to swish the wine in the glass before smelling and then swish it in our mouths before tasting. I liked the drier whites, with almost a flowery-oaky taste and I liked the Bordeaux but only with the cheese. I like that now I know enough about wine to order or buy a wine that I am sure that I will like, and do it in French!
